Summary

The provided text is the front matter, table of contents, and organizational information for the proceedings of the Fourth International Symposium on Highway Capacity, held in Maui, Hawaii, from June 27 to July 1, 2000. It is not the specific research paper titled "Capacity Analysis of Urban Arterial Midblock Sections Under Mixed Traffic Conditions" by Dhamaniya (2022). The text serves as a compilation of 42 papers presented at the symposium, edited by Werner Brilon and published by the Transportation Research Board (TRB) as Transportation Research Circular E-C018. The symposium was organized by the TRB Committee on Highway Capacity and Quality of Service (A3A10) to discuss current developments in highway capacity and level of service. The event marked the beginning of developments beyond the newly released Highway Capacity Manual 2000 (HCM 2000), aiming to address highway capacity challenges facing transportation professionals in the new century. A key aspect of the conference was its focus on international exchange, particularly with Pacific Rim countries, to share experiences and solutions for country-specific traffic challenges outside the United States. The proceedings include work from 73 authors representing 11 countries, with each paper reviewed by at least three members or associates of the sponsoring committee. The table of contents lists a wide range of topics relevant to highway capacity and quality of service. These include historical overviews of the committee, areawide service measures, traffic flow analysis, and the interrelationship between traffic conditions and driver satisfaction. Specific studies cover freeway capacity, bottleneck analysis in Japan, vehicle classification in China, and the operational characteristics of weaving sections. Other papers address environmental factors affecting free-flow speed, safety integration with the HCM, and level-of-service measures based on driver perception. The collection also includes research on heterogeneous traffic, such as passenger car units for mixed traffic and discharge characteristics at signalized intersections. Additional topics involve uncertainty in saturation flow predictions, user perception of level of service, and the effects of driver population on intersection performance. The significance of this document lies in its role as a comprehensive record of international research and practice in highway capacity at the turn of the millennium. It highlights the global nature of transportation research and the importance of adapting capacity models to diverse traffic conditions, including mixed traffic environments. The proceedings provide a foundation for understanding the evolution of capacity analysis methods beyond the HCM 2000, offering insights into probabilistic approaches, simulation tools, and the integration of safety and quality of service metrics. The document underscores the TRB's commitment to disseminating scientific and technical advice to government agencies, researchers, and practitioners, facilitating the implementation of research results in transportation planning and engineering.
